can definitely take some money away from the case.

consider the nhd14 or a single tower air cooler, much cheaper and run 4-5C hotter, but also keep the mobo cooler.

The 270x is slower, but similar performance for cheaper.

For gaming, RAM frequency makes no difference, 1600mhz works just as good.

Do you really need this high end board? What features will you use on this board vs a $120 or $150 board?

there's a xfx 550w psu that goes on sale often, keep an eye out for that.
